H. H. H,lRNER & CO.,
Proprie!ors Of Hidrner's SIe Cure"
That we may emphasize and clearly
explain the relation the kidneys sustain
! to the general health, and how much is
| dependent upon them, we propose, met
| aphorically speaking, to take one from
the human body, place in the wash
! bowl before US, and examine it for the
| public benefit.
You will imagine that we have before
US body shaped like bean, smooth
and glistening, about four inches in
length, two in width and one in thick
ness. 1t ordinarily weighs in the adult
male about FIVE ounces, but is somewhat
lighter in the female. A small organ?
you say. But understand, the body OF
the average size man contains about
ten quarts of blood, Of arhich every drop
passes through these filters or seeers, as
they may be called, many times day,
as often as the heart, making complete
| revolution in three minutes. From the
blood they separate the waste material
| working away steadily night and day,
sleeping or waking, tireless as the heart
itself, and fully of as much importance;
removing impurities from sixty five gal
Ions Of blood each hour, or about forty
nine barrels each day, or 9,125 hogs
heads year! What a wonder that the
kidneys can last any length of time
under this prodigious strain, treated and
neglected as they are?
| We slice this delicate organ open
lengthwise with our knife and will rough
ly describe it's interior:
We find it to be Of o reddish-brown
color, soft and easily torn, filed with
hundreds of little tubes, short and
thread-like, starting from the arteries,
ending in little tuft boutAmidway from
the outside opening of cavity of con-
siderable size, which is called the pelvis,
or, roughly speaking, a sack, which is
for the purpose Of holding the water to
further uctergo p;gri6cation before it
passes down from here into the ureters,
and so on to the outside of the body.
These little tubes are the filters which
do their work automatically, and right
here Is auhere the disease Of the kidney first
begins.
Doing the vast amount OF work which
they are obliged TO, from the slightest
: irregularity in cur habits, from cold,
from high living, from stimulants or
thousand and one other causes which
occur every day, they become somewhat
weakened in their nerve force.
What is the result? Congestion or
stoppage of the current of blood in the
small blood vessels surrounding them,
which become blocl1ed these delicate
membranes are irritated Inflammation
is set up, then pus is formed, which col
leets In the pelvis or sac the tubes are
at first partially, and soon are totally,
unable to do their work. The pelvic
sac goes On distending with this corrup-
ton, pressing upon the blood vessels.
All this time, remember, the blood,
which is entering tho kidneys to be FL
I tered, is passing through this terrible, dis
gts$ting pas, for it cannot take any other
route!
a Stop and think OF it for moment.
Do you realize the importance, nay the
: vital necessity, Of having the kidneys in
| order? Can you expect when they are
diseased Or obstructed, no matter how
little, that you can have pure blood and
: escape diSeasef 1t would be just as rea-
6 sonable to expect, Ii q pest house were
set across Broadway and countless thou
e sands were compelled to go through its
pestilcntial doors, and escape from conta-
gfon and disease, as for one to expect
the blood to escape pollution when con-
stantly running through a diseased kid
ney
Now, what's the result? Why, that
the blood takes up and deposits this
poison as it sweeps along into every
organ, into every incl, of muscle, tissue,
flesh and bone, from your head to your
feet. And whenever, from hereditary
! influence or othewise, some part of the
body is weaker than another, O countless
!. train of diseases is established, such as
Q consumption in weak lungs, dyspepsia,
where there is delicate stomach
i nervousness, insanity, paralysis or heart
n disease in thoge who have weak. nerves.
The heart must soon feel the effects of tht
poison, as ii Tequ$rcs pure blood to keep it IN
: right action It increases its stroke in
number and force to compensate for the
) natural stimulus wanting, in its en-
O deavor to crowd the impure blood
through theis obstruction, causing pain
, palpitation, or an out-cs breath feeling.
s Unnatural as this forc,:d labor is, the
heart must soon falter, becoming weaker
!, and weaker until one day it suddenla
o stops, and death from apparent heart
disease" is the verdict. -

r and dignifed, call these diseases by high
sounding names, treat them alone, and
q patients die, for the GTtefies are cdrTginc
Y 8lo,0 death to the affected parts, constantly
adding fuel brought from these suppurat.
e ing, pus-laden kidneys which here in oul
$ wash-bowl are very putrefaction itself
and which should have been cured first
/ But this is not all the kidneys have to
e do: for you must remember that each
adult takes about seven pounds oi
nourishment every tWenty-four hours tC
( supply the waste CT the body which is
constantly going on, Il waste equal to
the quantity taken. This, too, the
e kidneys have TO separate from the blood
with all other Geeomposing matter.
But you say, My kidneys are al

Mistaken man! People die Of kidney
e organs are rotten, and yet they have
neuer there had pam or en- Gche!
q Why? Because the disease begins
t as we have shown, IN the interior Of ths
j, kidneys, where there Gre fe,D Rerues o
l fssling to convey the sensation of pain
, Why this is so we may never know.
When you consider their great work
2 the delicacy OF their structure, the east
with which they are deranged, can yoI
wonder at the ill-health Of our men anC
women? Health and long life cannot b.
! expected when so vital an organ Il
!. impaired. No wonder some writer
I say we are degenerating. Don't you se'
f the great, the extreme importance ol
: keeping this machinery in working

;. a fractional part of this work, without

e is? It is lurking about US constantly
= without giving any indication of its
presence,
n The mcst slSilifui physicians canno
detect it at times, for ihe kidneys fheR
selres cannot be erami1led by any means
e which we have at our command. Ever
an analysis of the water, chemically ant
microscopicaliy, reveals nothing definite
: in many cases, even when the kidneys
are fairly broken down.
Then look out for them, as disease, NJ
